Let me outside even though I just came in; there was an area I forgot to sniff.

I can sleep anywhere I choose even if it means you trip over me.

Don't shhhh me from barking while you are on the phone; I heard the wind blowing the leaves.

Don't move me while sleeping sideways in the middle of the bed; you have enough room on the edge.

Don't think you can leave a room without me.

If it lands on the floor it's MINE!
